History
DVD Monthly was founded in April 1999 as the first magazine of Dave Perry's Predator Publishing in Exeter, Devon, UK. Shortly after its launch, funding for the continued running of the magazine came from Goodfellas Publishing, who later became the majority shareholders of Predator Publishing. Initially edited by Dave Perry himself, Jon Bruford subsequently took over as editor in early 2003 and since September 2004 the title has been edited by Tim Isaac. After Goodfellas decided to close most of its publishing ventures, the magazine was bought by Chester based Jazz Publishing in August 2006, which took all advertising and sales in-house to their offices, while leaving editorial and design in Exeter. Its major competition in the UK is DVD Review magazine and HD Review magazine.
It closed down in 2008/2009.
There was also a DVD Monthly in the US prior to the magazine. This was an online website which served as one of the first review/magazine DVD sites on the internet. It was started in 1996, at the dawn of DVD, during beta test phases, but ceased publication in 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
